You can't go wrong with Ton Blockchain, Avalanche and Solana, there are few others that aren't layer 1 and 2 like meme coins and AI projects, you just have to diversify your portfolio, you don't need to buy everything that others are buying, I have my hands in every niche in crypto space, DeFi, AI, gaming and many others, most times it's harder to predict which niche will do well but having them all keeps you in a better place.
Maybe you are right, maybe not, time will tell - but most of such projects are short-lived, and they are usually overshadowed by something new and much more brilliant than themselves - and the tragedy is that behind most of these projects are the same people who even in some situations consciously
"kill" old projects in order to be more successful with new ones. If you know when is the right time to enter and exit, there is no doubt that you can profit.
In the case of lottery, and I think it can be also applied to the management you talked about, the thing is that, at least afaik nowadays, AI works with what we could call "past results", which is of no utility when it comes to predict future numbers.
AI "thinks" that past results that happened more often have more chances to happen again, and that's not true. If that's how the so-called AI cryptos work, I agree that they must be designed more to deceive naive people than to build the next big thing.
So far, AI works under limited conditions (at least this official version), but even the US admits that China has far more powerful AI systems than what exists in the West - and it seems to me that AI has been released into the
"wild" for some time and that it is actually impossible to detect.
The fact that it occurred to some people to combine AI and crypto is probably a logical sequence of events - there will always be those to whom you can sell such things, no matter how pointless they are.
